Length = 17 feet, Width = 5 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

The area of a rectangular wall of a barn is 85 square feet.

Its length is 12 feet longer than the width.

Question asked:

Find the length and width of the wall of the barn.

Solution:

Let width of a rectangular wall of a barn =

As length is 12 feet longer than the width.

Length of a rectangular wall of a barn = 12+x

As we know:

$Area\ of\ rectangle=length\times breadth$

$85=(12+x)x\\\\85=12x+x^{2} \\$

Subtracting both sides by 85

$x^{2} +12x-85=0\\x^{2} +17x-5x-85=0\\Taking\ common\\x+(x+17)-5x(x+17)=0\\(x+17)(x-5)=0\\x+17=0, x-5=0\\x=-17,x=5$

As width can never be in negative, hence width of a rectangular wall of a barn = = 5 feet

Length of a rectangular wall of a barn = $12+x=12+5=17\ feet$

Therefore, length and width of the wall of the barn is 17 feet and 5 feet respectively.
